PONDER on THIS for Friday, October 1st, 2010 by Betsy Otter Thompson in WALKING THROUGH ILLUSION

"I believe that God is a power within - not a power that is only met upon death. If that's true, it simplifies things, don't you think? No more dialogues about whose God is valid and whose God is not since every soul is equally valid. No more wars in the name of God since God is you, me, and everyone. No more posturing that God told me to do this and God told me to say that since God isn't separate from the speaker. No more worries about taking the name of God in vain since you might as well be cursing yourself. No more religions claiming that they have the one true path, since every path that offers a person love is the path of true redemption. No more guilt for breaking God's rules since the rules we have are the ones we've given ourselves."

                 Betsy Otter Thompson, in "Walking Through Illusion"

Compiler's Note: I'm halfway through this book and am really enjoying it. I've been very impressed by the way in which the author has been able to effectively distill the essence of the teachings of Jesus in a very practical, non-religious manner.
